The best-selling video games of 2008 (so far)

CNET recently posted a list of the year’s top five selling games (thus far), and the results will surprise no one. GTA IV (on PS3 and Xbox 360) was the top dog, followed by a trio of Wii-specific titles: Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit, followed by the multi-platform Guitar Hero III. It’s interesting to note that three of the top five came bundled with a non-traditional controller apparatus, be it the Wii Wheel, a Wii Balance Board, or the GH guitar.

From the post:

“Grand Theft Auto IV–6,293,000 units sold (despite the fact that the game was only released in late April in the U.S. and U.K. and has yet to hit the Japanese market)
Super Smash Bros. Brawl–5,433,000 units sold
Mario Kart Wii–4,697,000 units sold
Wii Fit–3,604,000 units sold
Guitar Hero III–3,475,000 units sold”

Ah, sales numbers – or more likely, fanboy bait. You decide.
